thanks for the response

80 days is the total days out of UK since i moved here

Glad to know that my 80days is still within the limit

I was just confused if i needed to wait till 28days from Sept 2025 or as long as i have 5years. i can just add a few months to it and apply

I'm thinking Jan 2025 for the application so that's some extra months into 5years.. will also get Life in the UK test done

I have some more questions:


1. Can i apply for ILR with the UK Naric certificates I used for the 2 previous spousal applications for this ILR?

English Language Proficiency Statement: The NARIC certificates confirmed the Level of English Language for my uni and master degrees is confirmed to meet requirements of CEFR Level C1.

Academic Qualification Level Statement: UK NARIC also evaluated my uni and master degrees.

Can i still use them and not need to write any B1 English proficiency exams?

NARIC will do, just as last time



2. Mortgage Statement: Exactly how and where do i get this from? Do i request from my mortgage provider 28days before online application or is this a statement that was given when I got a mortgage?

Usually the statement given at the start of your mortgage - Just to satisfy accommodation requirements.

3. Regarding FLR(M) and SET(M),

From page 1, it says SET - Settlement then (M) is a category of Settlement visa used by immediate relatives of a settled person in the UK.

It seems a lot of comments and experiences here were SET(M) but i'm on FLR(M) as my wife is British.

Should I be concerned that there are few FLR(M) comments here or it is almost the same?

I'm a bit confused

It is SET(M) https://visas-immigration.service.gov.uk/product/set-m

4. Is it true I have to include a letter from my employer(s) to confirm the days I was out of the UK during the 5years was during my annual leave period?

Your letter from employer is to verify you are employed i.e your contract details, your position, how long you've been with them and the verification of the 6 or 12 months payslips you are submitting.

I would advise you set up camp with this forum. Link below. Your questions will be better answered there.

the arrival to the UK isn't the issue... it is the first visa start date that's not clear because i have 2 different dates.. one being the date on 1st BRP and another date being the start date on the 1st visa letter i got while in Nigeria

I used the BRP date in my FLR M visa extension application but i feel like maybe i made a mistake using that

I highlighted the field i'm referring to in the screenshot attached which is the https://immigrationstory.uk/en-gb/tools/ilr-calculator..

The dates will differ for ILR qualification when i use either of the 2 dates

I just need to know which of the 2 dates to use in the highlighted field

profemebee:
so this means whether i go with the date on my 1st BRP or the date on the visa letter in the ILR calculator doesn't really matter

It is the day i was physically in the uk that matters then..

I will input the BRP date (because this is the same date i used in my spousal visa FLR M extension application) when asked for and look at the results in the ILR calculator... thanks

I need to be consistent with the dates so i'm not putting different dates in the application from what i put earlier..

I'm asking because i need to know what date to put in the "When was the start date of your first relevant visa that goes toward the continuous period for this ILR application?" in the ILR calculator so it can determine what day i can apply from

profemebee:
Hi, thanks for the response

tbh i don't really know when i'm going to apply.. i still have more questions to ask that will determine when i will apply.. .i haven't even done UK Life in the UK test

I just want to first know which of the dates to use as the "When was the start date of your first relevant visa that goes toward the continuous period for this ILR application?" in the calculation done in https://immigrationstory.uk/en-gb/tools/ilr-calculator

The start date i was permitted to enter the UK which was stated on the first visa letter which i got while in Nigeria during my first spousal visa application

OR

the date of issue on my first BRP which was 2 weeks before the start date i was permitted to enter the UK (this is what i used in my spousal visa FLR M extension application)

Also, i have been out of the UK for about 80days

If i were in your shoes, I would not use my car......... Your vehicle does not have instructor's pedal fitted........

That instructor's pedal, is your examiner's life insurance....... Without it, your examiner would feel exposed like a fish, out of its pond........ 😁

The examiner would inspect your vehicle, and would fail it, for the slightest reason....... Just pay about £100 and use an instructors vehicle..........

Preshyi:
Abeg e be like say my driving instructor wan run me street. She is charging me £150 for using her car on test day and an extra £30 for an hour prep before the test. I feel like she wants to rip me off. Please is this rate normal in London.

koonbey:


The discussion is about UK, not US. Unclear what the relevance of the point you think you've made but won't engage further as you're already defaulting to insults (as has always been typical for these discussions) which I can't join in with.

Amarathripple0:

Like I’m just weak, someone here went to like my post on a different thread from Sept 2021 where I spoke about waiting for my CAS and then came back to this thread to speak loosely on my credit history as if that has anything to do with the question I asked.

dustydee:

I am genuienly surprised at some of the comments about your issue. Please do not be deterred and follow it up. You have a very good case and moreover what you are asking for is just an acknowledgement of wrong from them. Maybe because I have undergone GDPR training that's why it's easy for me to see the wrong here.

Can someone bring palm oil from Nigeria? I thought they won’t allow it to fly. If yes, how did they do it. Thank you for the suggestion. Really appreciate

Facebook i no get power to buy anything but let me play devil advocate here

What of Rental in this country that comes fully furnished house or Hotels or staycations we stay in ...... when you get to hotel how do you address Body fluid or that the mattress is definitely not first sleeping

brine:
BTW,
I lent a female friend £2k for her to add to her POF around August last year. The money was SOLELY for proof of funds and she even suggested that we could draft and agreement but I wasn't having any of that(silly). She messaged me today that she didn't get the visa and with all the plenty talks, she didn't even mention anything about my money . I was shocked by her response when I asked her for the money since there wasn't any need for her to still keep hold of it. She said she paid the money to an agent to forge bank statements as the money I sent and about N500k were all she had(What she got from the Uni was more like part scholarship). Then she also paid the agent some other fees. Long story short, she has given my money to the agent BUT I don't need to worry as the agent promised to return the money back to her in the next few months and she'll definitely send it back to me when she gets the reimbursement No apologies, but black people don't even rate their fellow black people and some people come here to talk BS about Nigerians not helping their fellow Nigerians.

Bluetherapy:
babajeje123 one advise I have for you is to pump the brakes a little bit.

Summary: try shelf all plans and focus on saving for PSW visa life. You will be very very frustrated if you don't put your house in order. If you wan catch rat, you go behave like rat. Divert the attention to what your immediate family needs (paying house rent, childchare) not what your external families need.

You're on student visa and I believe you should be focusing on saving for the after studies life. You probably have given her the wrong impression with the fact that you hustled the money and could fund bringing her down from Nigeria and also paying for quarantine hotel.

Try to put other plans on pause and map out how to solidify your stay here. You can start by letting her know that you have put aside the plans on bringing your mum. Then mention everything that needs to be done to solidify your stay in terms of IHS surcharge, PSW visa fees and the likes. Brainstorm together how to go about it in terms of savings because you need to pay those fees to stay back here.

Enlighten her about the finances that comes being an immigrant in the UK. Probably the reality would hit and change her perspective. You might not he able to achieve this if you don't pump the brakes on how much you disburse out (to other family members)except you had prior savings from Nigeria. Don't portray it to her like it's easy to make this £. Encourage her to get a job probably the reality will dawn on her.

You're clearly working over the permitted limit and you should really be careful with that.

I presume you mean £13.89, not £31.89.
Tell your friend to go to the tv licensing website and check, because I think YouTube, as a streaming service, falls under the services for which a TV license is needed.

deept:


In another thread it was mentioned about how lots of hr in the UK are ignorant about immigration rules. If you have an application in you are still in status until your application has been decided. A couple of people between this post and yours have posted the link on how to check for status but these guys can be ignorant and still see the date on your current brp as the cut off date for you. All you can do is try to educate them about this but I don't think there is anything you can do if they remain adamant.

If you can afford it go the super priority route where you get your decision the next working day £800 o think it costs or the priority route in 3 working days for £300 if I am correct. Its also difficult getting something new with an expired brp

evenda:
thank you very much.
do you by chance have the link for where they fill out this request, so we can direct them there?

thanks

evenda:
Hi, can someone please confirm this for me.

He's brother was on the phone and asked him what he was doing with a black kid.

I was broken because we do hang out and at that moment I thought I was just some black kid. Then I told him to his face that he's a racist. That's all. Dude punched me.

Nah, English exists as a common lingua franca to hopefully help us communicate clearly. That way the chances of ‘misreading’ a situation becomes quite slim. There is NO way I could have surmised from and I quote:

‘My Team and I are watching’ #Justsaying’ in response to a perfectly normal post that it was meant to be anything positive.

This thread exists to educate, inform, encourage (I hope), if you want to do so, do so. If anyone sends out wrong information and you know better, state it clearly so we can all learn. The poster missed a golden opportunity to educate us on aspects of food import that we may have benefited from. Telling us you are ‘Watching’ is supposed to help me how please?

Furthermore, if myself or anyone else who responded misunderstood the poster, there was AMPLE opportunity to clear it up quickly yesterday. But no.

I’ve sha promised someone I respect to drop the matter so I’m dropping it. Apologies accepted if the poster truly didn’t mean it. Cheers.
